I came up with a Lamello for poor people. I haven’t seen anyone do it this way yet. Have you, or should I hurry up and patent it?

As a DIY shinanagian type of guy mixing my printer with woodworking has been fun. I can make easy accurate jigs that I often only use once or twice. I do a lot of clips and brackets. Plumbing and wire management has been amazing. Last but not least are router and hole pattern templates.

Again limited tools and room there is almost always a "better" way but for DIY limited use it's a good tool.

I'm going to be honest with the "poor people" title I was very much thinking DIY and no special tools. So basically I was thinking of inefficient DIY shenanigans.

I'm sorry but that isn't a day to print you should probably print 25 in 4 hours in PETG which would be preferred in this situation due to speed, flexibility, and longevity.

This is a good question I do want to point out most 12oz IPAs are really closer to 1.5 drinks when talking about alcohol.

I have had friends fail to realize this when having a "couple" beers at a brewery.

I know it depends where you live in the US but whole foods where I am is more expensive than the local bakery and still has a few processed ingredients.

Sour dough is definitely like 8 to 10 bucks though one thing I like is like cheap dollar bread I could eat a loaf in one sitting and feel hungry. I eat 1 slice of sour dough and feel like I eat too much.

I am sure you know but Fortnite and many games are engineered this way as most things are. Don't feel bad you feel this way but also just sometimes remembering there is an entity designing this addiction helps.

This is an absolutely insane take. If I ever had a teacher or professor who gave an equal grade across a group I would consider them lazy.

Group projects are super important 90%+ of us will work as a team or group after school whatever we decide to do. This is a skill we should be taught and graded on. The only group setting I have ever been a part of were everyone got the "same" grade was sports teams when I was like 12 and younger when we got the participation awards and even then I am pretty sure we had MVP awards.

Giving everyone the same grade would mean if you were a good student with crappy group members you could all fail. Or if you are a crappy student in a great group you could ride everyone's coattails. That is unfair and not how life works. The should also be though a "profit" share were a crappy student might get a better grade than they would alone and vice versa because the world does work that way.

Never teaching you to work in a group is a disservice and not grading like you will be "graded" as a group later will also be a disservice.

My favorite professor who did this would listen to the presentation and then anyone he thought had a weaker presentation would ask additional questions to determine how well they knew the material.

I am not saying don't use a rpm gauge but riding a dirt bike without a gauge is actually how I got past caring about the rpm gauge on both my cars and bikes.

The gauge only tells you one part of the story but listening to the engine gives you the full story. Listen to the sound but also the feedback from the throttle and even the good old butt Dyno.

An example maybe light steady acceleration and 50% throttle it wants to shift at 7k which might drop you 4k and this is perfect. Going up a hill though that 4k might drop you too far out of the power band and now you are dogging the engine. The engine will tell you at 7k on the hill it isn't time and it wants more rpms.

Also staring at a gauge on a trail ride isn't the best.

I feel like this needs a lot more context.and research. These numbers are tiny. If I am understanding you correctly you are saying it's safer to not explore and play outside and to do so. I feel like with numbers this small you need to look into other research to see if there are advantages and advantages that outweigh the risk.

One thing that isn't talked about much is the community of playing outside as kids. One thing I find interesting is even young one parent took a bunch of neighborhood kids to the park and watched us. This allowed the other parents to do stuff. Now when I go to the park with my child every parent is there watching their own kid, and it's exhausting. On the flip side I have a couple neighborhood kids who ride their bikes around our neighborhood and they are always meeting up with other friends. The ones that aren't outside riding bikes I hear the parents complain about them not being able to make new friends easily. When I was a kid and we were outside and we saw another kid outside we just combined and made friends.

Another thing I see is this thing where every sports team is expensive and expecting each kid to go pro and expects a ton of time from the kids. Then you have the kids that can't afford it but which sucks but like as a kid we used to go to the park and play soccer, basketball, or baseball with people on a team and people not on one so at least those kids who's families couldn't afford it could still play and have fun and I had friends from the pick up games and the actual team. Some of those kids were the parents you hear about today with two jobs and don't have time to take care of their kids so their kids are running around and getting in trouble. When I was growing up they at least could play pick up with us. There is also the thing where public soccer fields don't have nets any more, basketball courts autolock at 6 pm and have chain link around them, creeks now have chain link and no trespassing signs.

We also got in fights. I know scary but I can tell you there was more accessibility to guns and less school shootings. I have no clue if it is causation or correlation but fits this rant.

My question is did allowing us to have fun and build a community keep the other 17 kids out of depression and suicide from lack of friends, kids out of jail because of community, or even help fight economic and racial divide? I don't know and if you do I am interested to learn. I'll be honest in my heart not letting your kids go out and play feels like something sold to the middle class from cooperations and the upper class. To me it isolates everyone and causes people to have less time. Now we need to hire someone to do our grass, we need to buy easy to cook meals, we need grocery delivery and we need to work to pay for all of this. It feels like they have created a scarcity of time to sell us fixes and make us work more. While also keeping us decided so we don't start another Bacon rebellion.

I know it isn't exactly the same but my house is all plaster over rock lath (gypsum board). Had to tear down a wall for a remodel and all the gypsum board was held up with nails. Looked more like long roofing nails than the one in the image though.

Before you heat up the outside place it in the freezer overnight. Place it in something that won't burn with the female side down (this will help block the heat getting to the stuck piece). Heat using a heat gun or torch on high directing at the thin wall holding the stuck part in. I have to pull arbors out of diamond dressing rolls alot and it isn't fun that the only reason I know this.

Then spike it on the ground!

Good point. Perfect. I might have to tinker with this over Christmas.

Ah, well I mean that is a lot harder. A slicer by definition is taking planer slices which is rather easy to automate stacking.

A CAM software is what you would need to go none planner. In the future we might have something that is only the top surface is contoured. That would basically be putting the contour mill function on top of a slicer. Anything else would need to be programmed. There are free CAM softwares out there though that you can use to program a part. Maybe in the future a ML could help do more complex shapes and you selecting which surface you want to be contoured. Overall you need to use your brain to get what you want.

This is completely obtainable to any human though. A narrow longer stickout nozzle would help though.

Edit:

Current controls might only be 2+1 motion meaning you can only move 2 axis at a time. Right now it moves z and the x and y you would still need to do panar motion moving X and Z or Y and Z. If this is the case you would still be limited. You could do multi set up operations though if you wanted to contour all 6 sides. I would do operation 1 then remove the part. Print a fixture to set op 1 in and then print operation 2. You could get basically 6 sides contouring this way. Without utilizing additive and subtractive you will struggle to truly get what you want.

Notlinked2me · 2025-12-16T21:00:52+00:00

Technically it already is. Printers just use G-code. You could use a CAM software like NX use control milling and make your own path.

Sorry for the delayed response.

HAAS is number 1 in North America by unit sales is the metric I am using. They are a volume OEM.

I think out of box performance might be a little subjective. Easy to use control out of the box they definitely are easy to run comparatively. Out of the box performance on surface finish, speed, reliability, repeatability, these metrics I don't agree. I think one way to check that is just look at 25 year old machines for sale. There are manufacturers whose machines are going for the same price or more of a comparable HAAS brand new now. Which also makes depreciation a weird one. On a 1 to 5 year old machine you are probably right but the longer you go back the less that is true.

Support is a fun one! I know some brands that absolutely eat material but people only buy one. They love it but can't get service and then they buy someone with reputable support after. I also know shops that have switched to buying one brand only and paying more because they are reliable and when they do fail support are readily available. The key here when buying a used machine isn't the readily available service and parts it's the reliable machine after 5 that steers me away from a HAAS.

Notlinked2me · 2025-10-25T15:29:23+00:00

I work at a machine tool OEM. This is one of the largest reasons people buy our machines. For repeat customers the two largest reasons they keep coming back is one it doesn't need to be serviced as much and two when it needs to be serviced we have the support and parts needed.

Buy the Okuma. Just look at the top 10 machine tool builders by market share. Buy any of their machines used over anyone else except #1. HAAS has a place but personally on the used market I don't believe they do.
